6 Local Drivers for change New Trust Director of Operations..!! Trust drive to improve the Emergency Care Pathway - Emergency Care Re-organisation Implementation Team (ECRIT) ***previous CQC visits*** Recognised clinical unmet need on Sundays Accepted patient safety issues (lack of Medicines Reconciliation, clinical pharmacy input, etc)

7 The Process Initial Staff Consultation May 2011 Proposed formal Sunday opening pharmacists and 2 dispensers (all technicians and dispensary qualified SATOs) 1 pharmacist in dispensary + 1 ward/eau based No change to Saturday working This was turned down by the Trust as it didn t go far enough!!!

8 The Process Second Staff Consultation Aug 2011 Proposed formal Sunday opening pharmacists and 3 dispensers (all technicians and dispensary qualified SATOs) 1 pharmacist dispensary based + 2 ward/eau based Proposed formal Saturday opening pharmacists, 1 clinical technician and minimum of 4 dispensers Cost Neutral..!! Proposal staff will reduce their weekly working hours slightly to accommodate increase in Sunday working

9 The Process Formal Response to Feedback No adjustment in usual hours TOIL for Sunday working All staff expected to work equally not pro rata for part time staff Lots of discussion about the choice Breaks..?? Annual leave..?? yes, but custom and practice is to simply swap weekend commitment Sickness absence..??

10 The Current Service Mon - Fri: 0830 to 1700 Sat: 1000 to 1400 Sun: 1000 to 1400 Bank Holidays: 1000 to 1400 Pharmacists and Dispensary staff each work 3 hours of the 4 hour formal opening hours. Each pharmacist works ~9-10 Saturdays per year Each pharmacist works ~7-8 Sundays per year
